Twenty Four Doors is an Australian studio making advent experiences — different every year, for different people. Each one is built around its own idea, limited in number, and designed to make December feel like it means something.
Every year, Luke makes Kat an advent calendar. Not a bought one — a designed, one-of-a-kind experience built around a theme: a story, a journey, a game, a set of things to make. They call it Katvent.
After nearly a decade of those calendars, it became clear that the best ones had something in common: they gave December a shape. Something to look forward to each day, and something to show for it at the end.
Twenty Four Doors is Luke and Kat's attempt to make that experience available to everyone. Not one box repeated annually — a growing catalogue of different experiences, for different people. Each product starts life as a Katvent idea, gets tested and refined, and eventually becomes something anyone can give — or keep for themselves.
A handcrafted Christmas for grown-ups. 24 days, 3 workshops, one gift at the end.
On December 1st, a letter arrives inside the box — an invitation to join the elf workshop. From there, the calendar unfolds across three departments: Paper Palace (origami and paper craft), Cracker Château (building four Christmas crackers from scratch), and Timber Terraces (a hand-assembled wooden bauble). Each day opens a new envelope with materials and instructions. On December 24th, the final door reveals a gift — a thank-you for seeing it through.
Everything needed for all 24 days is included in the box. It's designed as a gift for a creative adult — a partner, a friend, someone who'd love to slow down and make something with their hands over the course of December. Unhurried, heritage-minded, and made to be kept long after the last door is opened.
Priced at $150. Designed in Sydney, assembled in Australia. First edition only — not being reprinted.

Three new experiences are taking shape in the studio for 2027. Like everything we make, each began life as a Katvent — tested and refined at home long before it ever went near a box.
